proxycurl-js-linkedin-profile-scraper - The official Javascript/NodeJS client for Proxycurl API to scrape and enrich LinkedIn profiles

What is Proxycurl?

Proxycurl is an enrichment API to fetch fresh data on people and businesses. We are a fully-managed API that sits between your application and raw data so that you can focus on building the application; instead of worrying about building a web-scraping team and processing data at scale.

With Proxycurl, you can programatically:

  • Enrich profiles on people and companies
  • Lookup people and companies
  • Lookup contact information on people and companies
  • Check if an email address is of a disposable nature
  • And more..

Visit Proxycurl's website for more details.

Installation

For Node.js

npm

Install it via:

npm install proxycurl-js-linkedin-profile-scraper

Finally, you need to build the module:

npm run build
Local development

To use the library locally without publishing to a remote npm registry, first install the dependencies by changing into the directory containing package.json (and this README). Let's call this JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR. Then run:

npm install

Next, link it globally in npm with the following, also from JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR:

npm link

To use the link you just defined in your project, switch to the directory you want to use your proxycurl-js-linkedin-profile-scraper from, and run:

npm link /path/to/<JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR>

Finally, you need to build the module:

npm run build

git

If the library is hosted at a git repository, e.g.https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID then install it via:

    npm install GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID --save

For browser

The library also works in the browser environment via npm and browserify. After following the above steps with Node.js and installing browserify with npm install -g browserify, perform the following (assuming main.js is your entry file):

browserify main.js > bundle.js

Then include bundle.js in the HTML pages.

Webpack Configuration

Using Webpack you may encounter the following error: "Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module", most certainly you should disable AMD loader. Add/merge the following section to your webpack config:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      parser: {
        amd: false
      }
    }
  ]
}

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:

var ProxycurlApi = require('proxycurl-js-linkedin-profile-scraper');

var defaultClient = ProxycurlApi.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure Bearer access token for authorization: BearerAuth
var BearerAuth = defaultClient.authentications['BearerAuth'];
BearerAuth.accessToken = "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN"

var api = new ProxycurlApi.CompanyAPIApi()
var opts = {
  'companyLocation': sg, // {String}      The location / region of company.     ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes     
  'companyDomain': accenture.com, // {String} Company website or Company domain Requires either `company_domain` or `company_name`
  'companyName': Accenture // {String} Company Name Requires either `company_domain` or `company_name`
};
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
  }
};
api.companyLookupEndpoint(opts, callback);
